Set amidst tropical vegetation, Baobab trees in its own beach-lined bay, the hotel has some of the most spectacular sunrises and views in Africa.

Overlooking the palm-fringed beach, the well-stocked Malindi Bar is a wonderful spot for relaxing and watching fish eagles swooping over the crystal-clear waters while enjoying a refreshing drink.
